The blame was fixed on the method of taxation of congrega- tions for the United Lutheran Church. ‘This apportionment was changed so as to make all figures on membership wailable. Formerly the taxation was based on the number of confirmed members in a congregation. Hence, in some quarters, it was charged, an evasion of taxation. up of memberships were mnot fully represented.
